Having searched a lot around google, it does not seem that anyone has published their trac commit hooks for mercurial. Since I had to use just that, I’ve cooked up a little hook which is based on the hook from the timingandestimationplugin. I’ve created it as a changegroup hook, and it’s probably filled with bugs, but it seems to work and it catches the fixes #42 and such.

To use the hook you must place it somewhere inside your PYTHONPATH and tell mercurial to use it (I placed it in a module called trachook — don’t call your module trac):

[hooks]
changegroup = python:trachook.hook

And tell the hook where to find your trac installation:

[trac-hook]
root = /path/to/trac
url = http://url/to/trac

Grab your own copy of the source, and happy coding. And a big thank you to Jesper Nøhr.

Also, if you need a place to host your mercurial repository but don’t wan’t to set it up yourself, check out bitbucket.
